Hoping yesterday was the last of the wet mornings!

I know better than to… what? At 62, I should know better than a lot of things! There isn’t much about cycling in this area that should surprise me. And maybe the pretty constantly wet Tuesday & Thursday-morning rides don’t really surprise, but rather just annoy. It’s hard not to be annoyed; this is June after all, and just 10 days ago we were riding without leg warmers or base layers and it was 62 up on Skyline instead of 42.

This too shall pass. Really. It will. I promise. And then I can start recommending that people actually pay to have their drivetrains cleaned because the extra money won’t be going to waste after the next day’s soggy ride.

Let’s get one thing straight; I’m really spoiled to have this to complain about. Our weather here is not normal. Seriously, it isn’t. There aren’t many places in the world where you can assume it’s not going to rain from the middle of May all the way through, perhaps, the second week of November. That’s nuts really, but it’s not at all abnormal for the SF area.

If we could just get rid of that infamous “Marine layer” we get as we head into Summer.

Changing subjects, sorry if you earlier tried to get onto the blog site here and found it unavailable. There was a software glitch of some sort that took us off-line for most of the day. Obviously, back up and running now!
